Brief Answer:
Needs reevaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
You have already given a good course of antibiotics and expectorant.
If fever keeps coming again in the evening, it is better to reevaluate her by your pediatrician.
Any persistent source of infection in the ears or lungs need to be examined and identified.
As of now you can continue same medicines until you consult your pediatrician.
Keep giving her plenty of liquids to keep her hydrated.
Wishing your daughter speedy recovery.

Dr Arun
